work in progress

Liebster Award:’)

I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy now because dear muchadoaboutlove from thetalkingcupboard.wordpress.com has nominated me for the Liebster Award! I must confess that I've never heard of this award till now, so I think it best that I quote from her:

"Liebster is a German word that can be translated as ‘dearest’ in English but it can also give various meanings, such as ‘boyfriend’ and ‘sweetheart’. ‘Dearest’ sounds the most fitting in this situation since the Liebster Award is given by the bloggers to the other bloggers. It looks like a simple chain post thingy (which was quite a hit back then) but we can also discover new blogs through the tagged bloggers."

And the cute thing about this, by accepting the nomination, we will have to answer questions! Kinda like a thank-you speech:

List 11 random facts about yourself.

Answer the questions designated by the blogger (s) who nominated you.

Place YOUR nominations for the Liebster Award! Nominate five (or more) other bloggers that have less than 200 followers. Make sure to notify them via comment/email, etc.

Make up a set of questions for those nominated bloggers to answer.

Display the Liebster award badge on your blog!

I think I'm flouting the rules here because I simply cannot think of the five bloggers to nominate. I've just done a quick check, and those bloggers I'm thinking of are either too popular (>200 followers) or have already been nominated! I promise I will tag any blogger once I can think of one *promise!!*

In the meantime, hope I'm still allowed to make my thank-you speech hehe (If I don't do it now, I don't know when I will have the time!)

So here goesss:

I eat a lot for someone my size — I'm quite skinny and people always ask me to eat more. I EAT. A LOT. I eat everything<3

I love languages! — I'm not sure if I'm good with them, but I just know that I have an inclination towards learning languages! Understanding the language brings me so much joy. I am adept at English and Mandarin, poorly fluent in French and very interested in Japanese and Korean(:

I dream every night without fail. — How do people sleep without dreaming!

I'm in love with second leads. — I call it the Second Lead Syndrome. I simply love second leads (most of the time) because of the way that they are so kind to everyone, not just the female leads, and that they always don't ask for anything in return. Sigh. </3

I love music too(: — I think I'm a jack in all trades, but a king of none…because I'm really interested in learning music as well. I used to be very inspired by Nodame Cantabile, but reality taught me that I'm just not as good. Heh. Currently only able to play piano, and a little of the guitar/drums but when I'm less busy, I want to check out the violin and flute!

I love hearts and stars! — I like things with heart-shaped or star-shaped patterns, and of course, I love lying on the ground and just simply gazing at the stars in the night sky.

I walked into the guys' toilets twice. — I'm sorry 😦 First was when I was 8 and didn't notice the sign. Thank goodness it was an empty school toilet. The second time I took a wrong turn after leaving the ladies.

I know I get terrified to death by horror movies, but still insist on terrifying my friends (and myself) by watching them. — My imagination gets so active at night help.

I like running when I'm in an angsty mood. — I don't think I get the endorphins and all…but it helps when I'm on the machine/road and I'm just shouting all those bad thoughts in my head, with music blasting in my ears. I always feel much better after that.

I almost never sneeze once. — all sneezes come in triplets…or quadruplets…or even up to septets hahahaha.

And now for muchadoaboutlove's questions!

What was the drama that you found it hardest to move on when it ended, i.e. dealing with the craziest withdrawal symptom?

SO MANY! I guess the most recent one would be City Hunter! I vaguely remember that it wasn't the hardest to move on from, but then yet again, all kinds of drama blues suck. I recall rushing home every (forgot which day it was) of the week just to stream the episodes and then disturbing my friend with all sorts of recount about the episode ( like omg she fell off the floor and he grabbed her AND THEN BLOOD CAME OUT ARGH!! yeah verbal recap heh heh)

What makes you jump into the world of blogging about dramas?

I think it was partly Dramabeans that inspired me to start a blog and also because of my personal desire to record down every thought I had about dramas! I was watching too many at that time (2010) and I didn't want to forget them so thoughtsramble was born^^ Mm it started off being mere reviews about dramas and then slowly I started recapping bits and pieces and now I'm proud to have quite a few recapping projects finished!((:

Name an actor/actress in his/her 20′s that you think would still act when he/she reaches 50 years old. Why do you think so?

Hmm not too sure…Kim Soo Hyun/ Lee Min Ho maybe? They feel like the kind of actors who will take up only one acting project a year (hence a feeling of stability and constancy) and then when they get old, they can act as some one's father:P

Do you have a favorite among the acting-dol (acting idols)?

YES:D Must he/she be Korean because if not, this goes to Aaron Yan from Fahrenheit hands down!

How do you see yourself in 20 years, especially in your drama watching habit and your blog?

I know for sure that in 20 years, I will still be hooked on dramas and that I may very well be forcing my daughters (and sons?) to watch dramas with me too. Never too old to spazz over anyone eh?^^ As for my blog…I guess in 20 years, I think it will be a dead one, sad to say:( either that or few recapping projects and just updates from time to time about how my life is going on! I do hope the latter comes true((:

Because I didn't nominate anyone, I can't come up with any questions:( But if any of you are interested, I would love to hear

What is your favourite drama of all time!

If today was the last day of your life, how would you spend it?

Pick 3 main favourite people of your life. Why are they chosen!

If you could be a character from any drama, who will you be and why?

What is your favourite blog? (Doesn't have to be a drama blog!)

I know this deviates from the Liebster Award, but I'm tagging ALL OF YOU GUYS OUT THERE(((: You could leave a comment, or if you have a blog, then post the response and tell me! Maybe we will become drama buddies, just like how I am with muchadoaboveloveeeee.

It's really meaningful to me because I thought no one really reads my livejournal any moreXD I always have the idea that people need new things to read, and I just can't supply the entertainment that I assume my readers want…and at times this is quite sad because thoughtsramble used to be such a central part of my life! I had even once taken up to 4/5 recapping projects at one time. So…to muchadoabovelove, thank you so much^^ and to the rest, check her blog out! She's so good^^
